Generic Viagra - The Health Risks

Research released yesterday revealed tens of thousands of us are risking our health by buying cheap generic 'Viagra' online.

Net security firm MarkMonitor showed the majority of Viagra is thought to be fake or out of date. While it's illegal to sell prescription-only drugs in this way in the UK, the law doesn't apply to websites based abroad as long as the legitimate Viagrais for personal use, and drugs may often not be subject to the same rigorous controls.

Selling drugs is big business - a recent report by web analysts Envision estimated that there are around 2,300 sites worldwide selling non-prescription medicines to consumers. But doctors are concerned that this trend may have grave consequences. Plus, if you buy generic Viagra rom a site abroad, you may have no legal recourse should the drugs turn out to be harmful. And even if the drug is genuine, missing out on a consultation could mean that an underlying condition is overlooked or you end up with an unsuitable medication.

But skipping a visit to your GP to buy generic Viagra could put your life at risk. "Erection problems may be the first symptom of a number of serious conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or cholesterol, prostate disease or several neurological conditions," says Dr Doniert Macfarlane.

And, if you're taking medication for a heart condition or have an undiagnosed one, buying generic viagra could be fatal.
